It would only be natural for Gerrard to harbour ambitions to one day return to Anfield in a managerial position given his affinity for the club.

But for now, Gerrard says his focus is solely on Rangers, who are just two points shy of fierce Glasgow rivals Celtic after 12 games and believes Klopp is the man to deliver a first top-flight title for Liverpool since 1990.

"Anything is possible. Do I want to be the Liverpool manager right now? No, I want to be the Rangers manager," he added.

"I want to be successful at Rangers. It's a silly question if you ask do I want to be Liverpool manager one day. I think everyone on the planet knows the answer to that.

"But I love Jurgen Klopp and I believe he can help Liverpool win the Premier League. I know what it will mean to the fans because they suffered so much in 2014 [when Liverpool finished second to Manchester City].

"So, we're in a great place – and I say 'we' because I'm a fan and always will be. But I've got two teams in my heart now. Rangers and Liverpool."
